Finally got Errand Boy - the last Single Player trophy that I missed in my first playthrough - EXCEPT for getting all Gold medals in all the replayable missions. And then ALL the others, nearly half are all Online.
To complete Errand Boy I've had to play through to the Camp at the shore next to Rhodes - but didn't need to go as far as Shady Belle, though I did attack there with Lenny, which actually happens kind of early.
Now my problem is, I'm not sure how much further I'm going to go in this playthrough to try and see things I may have missed. I did just visit the girl with the cleft lip locked in the outhouse while she's still alive, and counting her numbers. Supposedly if you had gone to the property EXTREMELY early - which is before the story ever takes you there, she could be found somewhere on the grounds before being locked up, but I've missed that again. I don't think it matters. A couple other things I've been trying to do - like check out the railroad construction before completion - which I may have already finished by killing the pesky wolves. And the house that gets built outside of Valentine that you have to get lumber for at the clearcutting place that is eventually completely cleared and abandoned later. I think you have to do these things BEFORE talking to Micah as he's perched up on the hill behind it. I have brought 1 delivery of lumber to the house, but I'm not actually sure what's next for it yet - or if there's anything else that happens at the railroad. Also I have to remember to do all the Straus money collection missions, AND the Romeo/Juliet thing accross the 2 families. Those are the 2 trackable things that I missed before finishing the first time. At least if we ignore the Arrowhead mystery which nobody can figure out.... among other things. I don't think I witnessed the battlefield ghost audio in the rain yet either - or at least couldn't hear them because stuff like that is too quiet.

Ugh, a few of the side stories I didn't complete until it was too late end in Chapter 6. I'm in 3 now, which is when the Chapters massively grow in size. Anywho - I didn't play Bully and probably wouldn't be a fan of it today (not that I actually know anything about it), but Game Informer made a long article/report about the possible Bully sequel that didn't happen. Bully was made by R* Vancouver. The remaster was done by R* New England who wanted to make a new one, but have ended up being just one of R*'s side/support studios ever since they were acquired. (They did Star Trek: Armada and Empire Earth before then.)
Surprised there wasn't pirate rum in that chest.

 Probably very much a double-edged sword. Since there's STILL no Next-Gen Console version of RDR2 (and I fear won't be any time soon), can I even bring my current save from PS5 to PS4? I bet I won't be able to if it ever does get a Next-Gen update. I'm actually not certain if my PS4 is 9.00 or lower (the new currently publicly hacked FW).
Also possibly very interesting:

I didn't realize/forgot how early you burn Braithwaite Manor - end of Chapter 3 - and that the last part of the Romeo/Juliet thing doesn't occur until Chapter frickin' 6 and can be missed if you complete 6 without going to do it. Same goes for debt collection for Strauss. UGH And in between there's also that frickin Caribbean island chapter too? WHAT THE FRICK WAS THE POINT OF THAT?.... I know they wanted to do more with it then what was finished, but still...... Feels so extremely shoved in there. Random.
Oh yeah, there's also a small golden Shield you can grab only in the mission where you burn the Braithewait Mansion on a fireplace mantle on the first floor. You can't do anything with it and you can't sell it either even though It's considered a "Valuable". But it's there and you can collect it for some reason. Only in that 1 mission.

#SaveRedDeadOnline is trending apparently. I'm not clicking to see if there's a specific reason yet, but RDR2 Online has hardly gotten anything in quite a long time. (I have no idea if this is actually something about the first game? lol) Unfortunately, news of a game "dying" or about an uproar about it I think sends the signal to interested people not to bother playing it if they were going to. RIP perhaps?

Of course there's a lot of places like this in RDR2, but it always seemed strange to me that Millesani Claim mine in particular was used for absolutely nothing besides a Cigarette Card (and a Cheat Code). reddead.fandom.com/wiki/Millesani_ClaimIt's on the East side of Mount Hagan - the mountain South of frozen Lake Isabella. The Mountain where the game's story ends. Though this one is accessed from the South through that thin route up into the mountain through the woods North of Wallace Station.
(Speaking of Mountains though - How was the East Grizzlies Mountain never given a name? (that I know of) lol)

lol Wth?..... This is JAVIER'S mask during the bank robbery. I think only 1 other covers their head with a cloth and theirs is drawn on.  (wish I had gotten a closer look) Oddly it's gone when you're fleeing.  |

The low framerate definitely makes it better, too.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadmysteries/comments/s89vgy/the_squirrel_meteor_theory/ There's some connection between the meteor and (a?) squirrel? PERHAPS THE TAXIDERMY SQUIRREL THAT ABIGAIL(?) PLACES ON THE FRICKIN MOUNTAIN! (ufo location) But you can't use your weapons inside the farmhouse, can you? What if you needed to shoot it while it was on the mountain? Or just take it to the UFO.
omg since I can't interact with the squirrel in the farmhouse anymore - am I going to have to do all the hunting requests again to check this out? I'm sure somebody has a save after the hunting requests but before searching for the squirrel - but I don't know if anyone will see my reply.
also lol Is this why that 1 ufo is so tiny? But the other one is large.
Man, I went to an earlier save from my first playthrough, which happened to be in the middle of the damned hunting requests (after only completing the 2nd of 5). I spent a long time only to get 1 for the 3rd list and remembered that 1 of my 2 meteorites in my first playthrough I either accidentally sold or disappeared mysteriously from inventory like some other items.
FUCK 
The hunting lists are so insanely god damned frustrating and probably take weeks or hell... months. And I'd have to do all 5 sets again in my new playthrough, hopefully with the other 2 meteorites if I were to try this. (That is if it requires all 3 and not just..... the Squirrel Statue (question mark ?)) And heck, we don't even know if the Squirrel Statue is even it, or if some real squirrel is/was supposed to have it.

Holy Crap, was Guarma really that "short"?...... A couple chains of lengthy shootouts (plus mountain machine guns, cannons and a warship) and you're gone, back to America?
I forgot that the missions don't even take you through the native village on the beach. I guess I missed my chance to mark the Sea Turtle on the map again, even though it doesn't show in your compendium. (There's also a shark that can be found that ain't worth it that involves exploiting out of bounds and a MASSIVE walk to the corner of the Guarma map, which is insanely large for some reason. If you manage to get there there's a shark I guess glitch spawns at the corner of the map, and can also sometimes beach itself there.)
Anyways, Even right after Guarma you're still on a rollercoaster ride because the others fled to Lakay where you're immediately met by the Pinkertons and blast them away... again, AND THEN you flee to Murfree cave in Roanoke, having to take all them out, which sucks. THEN Molly rats you out (cause she's pissed at Dutch) and Susan shoots her.
I'm actually forgetting what happens after this? How much of the story goes on in Annesburg? How long are you in Roanoke after Molly's reveal? All I remember is meeting with Micah at that abandoned house with the inanimate Frankenstein creature in it (which isn't part of that mission).

I may have seen this on my first playthrough, not sure. Edith Downes visits your camp near Valentine (somehow). Edith's husband who owes the gang money near the beginning of the game is who Arthur got TB from, which was actually completely lost on me through my first playthrough. Even while you can meet her (and her son) several times afterwards, in Saint Denis and in Annesburg (where the son is in the mines). They even appear in a screenshot all fixed up and fancy (somehow?) and getting on a boat leaving Saint Denis in the credits. Edith stopped prostituting and the newspaper says they started a golf course. Somebody claimed that the GTA V golf course was named after them, but I don't think that's actually true.
Wow. The last missions of the Strauss debt collection and the last Romeo/Juliet mission were both more "exciting" than I thought. The 2nd-to-last debt collection mission has you fight off people sent by other debt collectors for this guy. Then you find out he's with a pregnant wife. (Who knows where she was hiding.) Then the last one, after going to the Annesburg Mine again, actually takes you to that ranch up on the crazy roads in Roanoke that usually has that angry rancher. Instead you find only a woman and her son because the guy you were going to collect from is dead. You can choose to absolve both of these collections (I wonder if it still changes to the angry Rancher after this mission) but I don't think it matters becaaaaause..... Either way, Arthur then aggressively throws Strauss out of the camp up in Roanoke. Apparently in the Epilogue Charles tells John that Strauss was captured by the Pinkertons and died. But I have no clue how he would have found that out. (And I have no idea what happened to him without completing this chain of missions either. (apparently he gets dies with/by the Pinkertons either way))
And... as for Romeo & Juliet of the Gray and Braithwaite families, You take the girl to meet the boy at the Rhodes train station (there's even its own musical tune, which surprised me). They then ask you to frickin ride with them (wth?) and more of their damn cousins are at the station and then a whole bunch more come after the train on horses. What was extra weird is I coulda sworn you bought tickets to Saint Denis, but this train instead goes the reverse route that all the other trains go and goes West instead. And then for some weird reason (i guess) the train driver flees and you know have to drive it (because I guess R* wanted you to drive the train again, even though this one is missable?) and you take them all the way west across the bridge and stop at that station at the other side to tell them to take a stagecoach. The girl offers you her bracelet and you can choose to take it or not, but again I don't think it really matters. However I did forget to take her (lol) to go by Gertrude, the girl the family locked in the outhouse because she will say something about it if you do. But I forgot, but I actually already watched it on Youtube previously. |
